Even with the most rudimentary understanding of the U.S. Constitution, the system of govt with its checks and balances and the power of citizens through the electoral process you should be to see how ludicrous that sounds. People that go around spouting that kind of stuff don't even believe it themselves

Honest question for American posters. Do you think guns will resist a tyrannical government armed with semi-autonomous drones, tanks, soldiers with superior marksmanship and the like?

There wouldn't be an uprising, necessarily. If and when something like this happened, I would foresee a migration of like minded people to certain areas of the country, then you'd see an attempt at secession.
